In a time of fast messages but slow understanding, the Be in Balance (BIB) project brings something new: a Train the Trainers program designed to equip educators, youth workers, and volunteers from Serbia, Slovenia, and Romania with tools to connect with young people on a deeper level. Held in Subotica, in the period of 16-22 February 2025, training focused on helping young people build emotional literacy, self-confidence, communication skills, and entrepreneurial thinking – all through methods they understand and respond to.
Topics included:
✅ Emotional Intelligence
✅ Active Listening
✅ Storytelling and Public Speaking
✅ Self-confidence and Assertiveness
✅ Mental Health and Self-care
✅ Collaboration and Teamwork
✅ Youth Entrepreneurship and Initiative
One young participant put it simply: “People don’t talk anymore. Everyone is withdrawn. Mostly, they stay silent.” That’s why the BIB methodology focuses on experiential workshops, peer support, and interactive learning – helping youth express themselves, take initiative, and build resilience in today’s complex world.
